Harry: To sum it up you should consult a hydraulic specialist, tell him how fast you want splitter stroke, pressure and gpm of your tractor system, PTO speed. Wood splitters don't have high horsepower requirements. I've seen my brothers 230 keeping 3 guys hopping just running about 1/2 throttle. Two guys handling wood and third guy not have time to take his hand off the hydraulic control.
That yarn about a diesel having to run full throttle is a bunch of bunk. In fact I think the diesel will stand up better at 950 rpm than the gasser will. I agree the diesel should operate over 800 rpm. Big thing with diesel or gas for that matter is keep them at operating temperature, and thermostat is designed to do that. There are thousands of 40 hp diesels, all makes on the east coast operating blow bush blueberry harvesters and they run thousands of hours at 950 rpm. I know of several IH 484 that have 30 plus years in operating 600 hours per year at 950 rpm. Bear in mind that is not 600 hours on the clock but it is 18,000 hours of fast idle, and none of them have ever been rebuild or had pump and injectors changed.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
